Earlier, the people did not have to rack their minds on choosing floors for their kitchens, because they had to select from just a few options – brick tiles, simple cemented or concrete flooring and marble flooring. Now, this is a trickier task because you need to choose from the range of options inducing, marble, wood, vinyl wood, rubber floors and many more. What kind of flooring would you choose for your kitchen and on what basis? Certainly, an interior designer in Pakistan can guide you the best but still by comparing the durability, price and other factors, you can choose the best flooring for your cooking area.

Here are different kinds of contemporary kitchen floors, which you can go for.

Wood

Wood is the most used material for the kitchen and overall house flooring. From the last few years, wooden flooring is continuously in vogue as it gives posh and natural look to the area, where it is installed. Even the people, who cannot afford it due to high cost, get it installed only in the kitchens because the latest construction and interior designing trends are focusing more on making kitchens and bathrooms, the most attractive areas of a house. "If your kitchen's cabinetry is wooden, then to have a wooden floor is complementary," says Amer Adnan, a reputed interior designer in Pakistan.

Maintaining a hardwood floor in this cooking area is perhaps the most difficult task because here you can have oil and water spills, which will make its look untidy.

Cork

This kind of flooring gives your kitchen a unique, expensive and chic look. It is environment friendly; therefore, you do not need to worry about its maintenance in the humid season. Being soft and comfortable, it retains its shape, even if a heavy item like a glass or a bottle falls on it.

Bamboo

Most of the people cannot make a difference between a wooden and bamboo floor. Although, the bamboo maintains the same look as of a wooden floor but when it comes to the durability, it takes an edge over it. Bamboo is basically grass-like plant. It is highly resistant to microorganism and serves to be life-long flooring even for a high-traffic area like kitchen. Most of the people go for bamboo flooring because not only it is durable but is also less expensive than the wooden floor.

Marble

Marble flooring is not new but it is still in vogue, you can have different kinds of marbles for your kitchen including the cheapest one to the most expensive. It is much more durable than any other kind of flooring because it is easy to maintain, as you can keep it clean even by washing it. When it comes to choosing a marble floor, always keep in mind the overall look, counters and cabinetry in view. A top architect in Pakistan can guide you about different marble flooring options that not only suit your budget but also the look of your kitchen.

Vinyl Wood Floor

People, who cannot afford hardwood floor, go for the vinyl flooring as it serves as mimic of the timber. It is far less inexpensive than the wood and is much resistant to stains and oil spills.

By comparing the functionality, look, trends and prices of all types of flooring, you can select the one that best suits your needs.
